Abstract
CANCER of the colon and rectum is exceeded only by cancer of the lung as a cause of cancer death in the United States. Of the approximately 350,000 deaths from cancer in 1973, 47,400 were from cancer of the colon and rectum; of the approximately 665,000 cancers diagnosed in 1973, 79,000 were in the colon and rectum. Denmark, Great Britian, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Belgium and Austria have equally high or even slightly higher death rates from this disease and it is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in most western countries. Improved surgical techniques and the development of new diagnostic methods have not significantly affected these mortality statistics1.
